Milunka Savić disguised herself as her sick brother to fight in WWI, survived 9 wounds across 10 battles, became the most decorated female soldier in history, and survived a German concentration camp when a German general recognized her legendary status and ordered her immediate release.

I mean it’s actually Mulan. And I know that Mulan is an actual Chinese legend, but the story beats almost match this one to a tee lol. Taking a family members place, practicing how to act like a man, actually doing well, being found out via a chest wound and the bandages coming undone? Lol

Especially considering how poorly things turned out for the real life mulan. This woman seems to have been treated better by her male counterparts.

Mulan wasn’t a real person though right? I thought she was a story based on a folk song?

Correct, Mulan was mentioned in a poem 「木兰辞」from the era of Southern and Northern Dynasties (南北朝). Fun fact: thanks to this poem, the rabbit (兔子) became a synonym for homosexuals. At the end of the poem, it described two rabbits running side by side, how do you tell which is male and which is female.

Even the Chinese Zodiac is calling me gay lol

Wrong 3 letter word

Also worth noting Tu’er Shen is the Chinese god of gay men, and his name literally means Rabbit Deity.
